Hi,

If water is entering the engine is might due to the top cylinder head is warped (bent). This usually happens when the engine gets too hot (usually due to insufficient cooling, in your case a leak). Skimming the cylinder head usually will solve the problem. The head gasket is also to be replaced.

Otherwise getting a secondhand cylinder head is all it takes, not getting a new engine.

Good luck.
